Unión beat Sarmiento 4-1 in Superliga, with Cristian Tarragona scoring twice to set the tone. The hosts were clinical in attack, while Sarmiento edged possession and had more efforts on target but came away with nothing.
Tarragona opened the scoring in the 18th minute and doubled the lead on 61. Ignacio Malcorra made it 3-0 on 74, and although Julián Mavilla pulled one back for Sarmiento on 79, Erik Ramírez restored the three-goal cushion five minutes later, with the second goal just after the hour effectively settling it.
Tarragona's brace was the standout individual contribution, but the numbers underline Unión's ruthless finishing: they scored four goals from an expected-goals total of 1.25. Sarmiento had six shots on target to Unión's five and 51% possession, yet managed only one goal, with Unión's goalkeeper making five saves.
